The larger icons are rated 4 stars in Shotwell. Media that's rated 5 stars in Shotwell takes up the whole screen width. (Not shown in this screenshot, however is shown below on the desktop view.)
If your browser's screen resolution is wide enough (> 1200 pixels), then the larger icons are shown. You can change the icon size / styles by clicking on the 'Default Icons' dropdown.
Three different icon sizes are shown. The largest icons are rated 5 stars in Shotwell. The medium icons are rated 4 stars, and the smallest icons represent all remaining media. This view was explicitly requested in the web UI via the dropdown. This is the default view when viewing the generated website on a phone or tablet.
Shotwell allows grouping all of your media into events (and tags). Composite thumbnails are generated based on the media that's contained inside.
